I for one am not trusting this search engine for one bit
Since mid-2016, the company has started sending data to Microsoft Bing Ads, without informed consent of its users. It did not announce this to its users until mid-2021
You are using Meta’s WhatsApp and Messenger, so apparently you’ve already decided to trust that company with the contents of your chats. That’s fine, I personally don’t, but I’m not judging.
Then, you’ve also already decided to trust Microsoft with everything else you run on your computer since you’re using Windows.
What then are you trying to protect yourself against by using PWA’s instead of native applications? Maybe it’s worth some time to evaluate your threat model.
Having them isolated in their own Firefox profile keeps them a little separated from the rest of my browsing activity etc. It’s not perfect but it’s better than nothing.
It is useful for people with limited tech knowledge in my opinion. As far as I know, the goal behind the site is to be a friendly resource for newcomers to get their first steps towards a more privacy-conscious Internet usage.
Yes, I had the same issue. I am starting to move off of YouTube. I wish people would start to self-host, or P2P share their videos more if bandwidth cost is an issue...a few channels I watch however has telegram where they post their videos. So I usually just watch from there.
“Widely described as a haven for neo-Nazis, racists, white supremacists, white nationalists, antisemites, the alt-right, supporters of Donald Trump, conservatives, right-libertarians, and believers in conspiracy theories such as QAnon”
It’s true that there is content that is controversial on there and I do not agree with. But you can not put a neo-nazi in the same category as a right-libertarian
No worries, I was interested in your post because I like a good search engine with respect to privacy of it's users, but when I read further into Qwant it all seems very shady from CEO to investors and not respecting privacy at all, only to inform users 5 years later of their partnership with Bing.
@kindenough I'm currently using the Duckduckgo browser for 95% of my online stuff. Sadly it doesn't work with a lot of payment sites, so it's back to Chrome for that (I know Firefox has more privacy, I just never really got into it).
